Keeping the Beat

Living with a pacemaker means trusting a device with something as fundamental as heartbeat. That trust takes time to build, and the questions that arise in the weeks and months after implantation are rarely answered by the procedure itself. The writers in this volume address those questions honestly.

Inside this volume

Fifty people describe the path to pacemaker implantation — the arrhythmia or heart block, the procedure, and the recovery — and what daily life looked like afterward. They write about device checks, about travel and work, about the emotions of living with something implanted, and about the gradual shift from anxiety to reassurance.

Who it's for

For those recently fitted with a pacemaker, those considering the procedure, and the family members who want to understand what the long-term experience involves.
